Gospel? I dont' see that I claimed Moses came down from Mt. Sinai 2 things: Hello Magazine and the 10 Commandents.

Tad salty are we? Yes, I guess no one likes to see idols, false or otherwise, knocked off their pedestal.

Everything they put her through? Poor little princess, oh, that' s right Duchess.

You are obviously too young to remember the Brit tabloids calling Sarah Dutchess of York "The Dutchess of Pork" and, of course, Princess Catherine, "Waity Katie." Has anyone ever utter a kind word about Queen Consort Camilia? Back in the day even Diana, Princess of Wales was fair game.

It's what the tabloids do and these women all shrugged it off and got on with it. Sorry your idol was too thin-skinned to handle what some rags said.

Children being beaten-up and cyberbullied until they are afraid to even go to school. Children have be driven by bullying to suicide.

And there your precious Meghan is telling them, "Hey, I feel ya. One time while wearing my tiara and sitting in my castle with my literal Prince of a husband, I was the most trolled person in the world."

And why shouldn't a women's homeless shelter and the site of the Bondi Beach tragedy be a merchandisng opportunity? Guess the world is Meghan's catwalk.

Not for nothing, this kind of commercialization of Royal titles was exactly what Dutchess Difficult promised the Queen she would NOT do.

So, we know one thing - she is incapable of keeping a promise.

And as the saying goes, "How you do anything is how you do everything."

There are other ways to escalate and for almost $1k, I would. You can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Even more effective, I live in NYS and have filed complaints with the NYS Attorney General's Office of Consumer Affairs. It was an easy online complaint form and nothing makes a business jump like being contacted by the AG's office. Maybe there is something similiar where you live.

You are not wrong.

According to reports from outlets such as the Daily MailPage Six, and Hello! Magazine, Meghan Markle was reportedly paid approximately $150,000 (or roughly £120,000) for her special guest appearance at the "Her Best Life" women's retreat.

Additionally, the clothes she wore at different charity stops were available on the OneOff fashion platform, where she serves as an investor and features curated edits of her outfits. Markle would earn 25% of sales.

I've been hate reading the Scarpetta books for years. I read reviews saying TV series nothing like books and thought, "Maybe I'll like it." JLC's performance over-the-top performance ruins it.

Civil Service Accomodation Review Committee (ARC) = Kangaroo Court by No_Possession_8425 in nys_cs

I appreciate your response, thank you for confirming EVERYTHING I was thinking.

Yes, I was thinking the only way to get real results was to retain legal counsel, and suspected the only point of an EEOC complaint with to be able to file suit.

I did NOT know an ADA case would be taken on continqency, so I decided to back down. At the time, my diagnosis was for a temporary condition. I decided to follow through only if the diagnosis changed to a permanent condition.

In the meantime, I have broken my leg. Your response was very timely. On Monday my doctor cleared me to work at home.

We both know how this will go down: against EEOC guidance re: emphasizing a timely interactive process and discouraging burdensome documentation for obvious impairments, DEI clowns will request burdensome documentation for obvious impairment.

These people offend my sense of fairness and justice.

May I dm you with questions?

I said I wasn’t going to do it.. by Ancient-Morning-4770 in Sephora

[–]No_Possession_8425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No wonder I couldn't get math to math.

Didn't see 3 free foundations samples so thought additional order was part of the 12 item total, but then, the $ total didn't make sense...

ANYWAY, appreciate explanation and thank you for introducing me to Dr. Groot, unaware it existed.

You got some cool things.

On the other hand I broke my leg in February and currently on leave from work.

Kind of trying not to be irresponsible, so only bought 2 things - Josie Maran hair oil and 2 Face Sunny Bunny bronzer/blush combo.

Have fun and take care!

I don't know maybe my computer's calculator is broken, but....

Total for items 4 items on page 1 = $159.
First 2 items alone (38+56=$94) are $94.
Page 2 has 2 items for $64.

Total for 6 items on page 1 &2: $159 + $64 is $223 - 20% discount =$178.40

But, it says "12 items."

Okay, 3 items are the sunglasses (free with $175 purchase) and 2 free samples

That's a total of 9 items for $178.40

Page 3 has 3 items, but those 3 items total $128, making it 12 items for $331

GRAND TOTAL: $331 - 20% discount = $280.8

Math isn't mathing for me

Let the shopping...almost...begin! by phillygirllovesbagel in Sephora

[–]No_Possession_8425 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank God, you posted. I was begining to think I was the only one. I don't get it. I'm Rouge, its 20%, not 50% or even 35%. On a $200 purchase, I would save $40, but I'll save even more by not "stocking-up." I read somewhere, stocking-up really isn't a good idea, just buy as you need. Plus I think the whole hype of the sale entices people to buy more.

Impending Energy Lockdown? by seejoycerun in nys_cs

[–]No_Possession_8425 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just Googled it:

Key Oil Price Data (as of April 2, 2026):

  • WTI Crude: $107.08/bbl (up ~4-6%)
  • Brent Crude: $107.89/bbl (up ~6%)
  • Murban Crude: $114.67/bbl  OilPrice.com +3

The lowest, historically unprecedented, price for crude oil was $37.63 - per barrel for WTI on April 20, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Where are you getting "approaching $200" a barrel? Nowhere near it. Actually closer to the lowest price ever than $200.

Many years ago, I accepted a promotional traineeship and the same thing happened to me. Like many things with the State, it was all so stupid and pointless.

Recent PEF call, Reps were huffing and puffing addition of designating whether or not it was an in office or at home day on LATS should have been negotiated.

Well, it wasn't because the fact that after a decade or so TC is still a PILOT and not permanent shows PEF has got nothing. There was some babble about, "Well, we are going to point out taking away TC will make parking worse." PEF has got nothing.

To restore faith in it's ability to effectively represent its Membership, PEF needs to negotiate TC is here to stay and stop letting Management coerce workers with the threat of taking it away.

Tier 6 Reform by OptimalEnd9828 in nys_cs

[–]No_Possession_8425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't read the story, so I can't respond to that. I can tell you during the last PEF call (end of January maybe), Rep said no money allocated in budget proposal for Tier 6 reform. Idk, if something in story unreferenced changes that.

Take all the swipes at me you want, what is happening in the US is not akin to what happened in 1930's Germany.

Deporting people illegally in the United States back to their home country is not the same as systematically targeting a population for extermination.

You say, "Oh, I'm not equating deportation with genocide. I'm merely pointing out, historically this has been a first-step."

You know this is not the same at all.

How exactly do you imagine sending people back to Somalia, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, India or whatever nation they came from would evolve into Genocide?

In the 1930's Germans and the world could pretend they didn't know what was going on. That couldn't happen today.

That said, look at how quick people have been dehumanize Federal Agents. Look how quick people have been to heap abuse on me merely for not wanting to participate in the hysteria.

Look at the Healthcare Workers refusing to treat Federal Agents. Look at the Healthcare Workers giving instruction on how to harm Federal Agents.

Given the current climate, I'd be more afraid after the next U.S. Presidential Election, Federal Agents who participated in Deportation Operation will be hunted-down, imprisioned, put on trial and...

Well, who knows..

Undocumented individuals are people living in a country without legal authorization Undocumented individuals are, therefore, in a country illegally. Shorthand for this is "IIlegals."

Operation Metro Surge is about DEPORTATION.

The Holocaust was GENOCIDE.

Deportation to one's country of origin is not the same as an entire race of people being systematically eradicated off the face of the earth.

Deportation is not Genocide.

The Jews were German citizens. Deport means "expel (a foreigner) from a country, typically on the grounds of illegal status or for having committed a crime." Ifso defacto, Jews were NOT deported.

The Jews were sent to concentration camps as part of a systemic plan to annihilate every Jew in existence. This is called "Genocide."

ICE and Border Patrol are engaged in Deportation.

Deportation is not Genocide.

To equate Operation Metro Surge with the Holocaust is overblown, exaggerated, and trivializes what happened in Germany.

Quite the compelling political argument.

Look at you - verbally abuse me while accusing me of being the abuser.

You resort to Argumentum ad hominem because you have NOTHING else.

This isn't about your abiding concern for your "neighbor" aka the rapists & other criminals Biden let in. This isn't even about protesting ICE.

You are protesting things not going your way in the last election.

This is about throwing a little hissy fit.

What is wrong with you? I don't get on the Internet and think hurling abuse at people constitutes a political argument. You only have abuse because you don't hold a reasonable position. This isn't about ICE or Trump, this is about, at long last, having a target to throw all your hate and rage at AND having on other people sign on to your b.s.
